The result was delete as non-notable. The sockpuppetry and attempts to fool us by signing someone else's username didn't help. - KrakatoaKatie 10:44, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sweetsong Nashville[edit]

Relatively unknown record label which only appears to have two artists on the books, one of whom is non-notable per WP:MUSIC and has been nominated for a CSD. All supposed links to citations for notability refer to the other represented artist but not to the label itself. So basically the label is non-notable. Article creator (as well as a possibly sock-puppet anonymous user} has repeatedly self-deleted 2 or 3 CSD notices and a recent prod. WebHamster 17:42, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak ~~Keep~~ Neutral Though hesitating between a neutral/weak delete decision, Moe Bandy looks to have been a notable artist with that label (although for nearly two years only), Also, the Bandy article would had to have additionnal sources which may help the cause of this article. --JForget 22:59, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possible KEEP. I think that the article is possibly salvagable. A record label with at least one notable artist and another artist (whose notability has yet to be determined) having referenced, reliable independent sources, while not a household name, may be notable. Are there any referenced sources available? BaldDee 13:03, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
[COMMENT to WebHamster, I think it's a little odd that you nominated both articles for deletion, then pointed to each other's nominations as evidence of the non-notability of the subject of the nom. I'm not questioning your motives, but it gives me pause to wonder... Why not simply state, "I nominated both articles for deletion because they were both non-notable." or something similar. If another editor had nominated one of the articles, your statement would carry slightly more weight as an argument. As is, in nom Y you're saying "See nom X" and in nom X you're saying "See nom Y"] BaldDee 13:03, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because that was the way I chose to word it, you would have chosen your way, vive le difference. WebHamster 14:37, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment for perspective BaldDee has been shown to be a sockpuppet of a user who has been stalking me and making numerous bad faith AFDs against my articles--WebHamster 21:23, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, two artists, one who fails WP:MUSIC and the other one who needs some reliable sources (there isn't none that I see) isn't enough for a record label to be kept here Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 14:16, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- COMMENT to Jaranda. I think a SPEEDY was unwarranted. There's enough asserted notability (one of their signed artists being notable) to warrant at least a discussion as to the label's notability and/or the opportunity for an editor to attempt to assert it. Let's try to get a consensus, not just one individuals opinion. BaldDee 14:30, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Music-related deletions. -- the wub "?!" 18:02, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Also, it seems the new user account and anon was created solely to promote this label and the two artists: (Special:Contributions/ChelseaBurns and Special:Contributions/75.2.209.103) and evidenced by this purely promotional statement within the article: Sweetsong is expanding and looking for new artists to sign. I would suggest this user/creator refer to a few Wikipedia polices, i.e Wikipedia is not a soapbox for self-promotion, Conflict of Interest, and WP:MUSIC#Footnotes. ♫ Cricket02 03:13, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is a record label with known artists. Miranda 03:13, 28 August 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.2.209.103 (talk • contribs) 04:57, 3 September 2007[reply]

Warning. The above comment by Miranda appears to have a forged signature. The IP added by Dancter as the true poster is actually the IP of the article's creator.--WebHamster 10:39, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
